The Force Guide is a force-control system that enables robots to sense and utilize force feedback data to make high-precision moves. The system enables robots to detect up to six axes of force, via its multi-axis, rigid, torque/force sensor, with a precision level approaching 0.1 N and a high tolerance for excessive force.
